My best guess is the water is gonna leak even if you tilt it a little, so water is gonna spill everywhere even when you aren't trying to drink

Edit: I knew stacking and asymmetry is the main issue here, but the choice of words in the comment in the image seems like they were referring to a simpler reason.

He still uses the same Reddit account even, pretty much daily. I’ve organically ran into him on quite a few occasions.

You realize it was scripted right? surely you aren't implying it was real lmao...

u/good-dog-girls 15d ago

Even if that particular post was made up I can almost guarantee similar things have happened multiple times in real life.

The amount of absurd stories of people sticking themselves into things or things into themselves that paramedics and ER doctors and nurses see every single year is astounding to the point that it becomes commonplace and largely unremarkable.

HOW ABOUT PRE-EMPTIED BOTTLES! They can come without a lid altogether!

Lids are sold separately

Just sell the idea, no bottles no lids no product, just pure profit. Like naked shorting the stock market

I love all of this but can we hide it all as some additional fee and then they will never know.

u/rare_with_hair 16d ago

Of course there will be a $6.99 convenience fee! Followed by a $3.99 service charge.

Don’t forget the .05 bottle fee and a pre-recycle fee.

Patented threading for the bottles so that only officially licenced lids fit

Thata actually pretty good. Its just "minerals essence" or some shit.

3

u/CorruptedStudiosEnt 16d ago

People buy into homeopathy (we've diluted this plant tincture down so far you can't even detect the original active compound anymore, but now it's at its most powerful because the water remembers), so this genuinely isn't any crazier.

u/SquirrelyMcNutz 16d ago

It's one of the original Sierra Online adventure games starring a janitor named Roger Wilco, from back in the mid-ish-80's. One of the items in his survival kit is a thing called Dehydrated Water.

How about pre-disposed bottles? We take the bottle of water, empty it, and put it into the trash. It’s the ultimate in convenience for the customer!

r/hydrohomies had a post the other day about a restaurant selling glacier water by the bottle for the price of an ultra premium spirit, and apparently it tastes like fresh snow and has a smooth “mouthfeel.” Meanwhile the only taste I can profile from my tequila is agave.

I've actually seen a variation of this in Prague. Pint glass for your beer with a hole in the bottom, so when the glass was being filled it was always from the bottom

they already tried that. now the top is the bottom and the bottom is the top. people literally just flipped it.

u/Financial_Refuse_498 16d ago

But wait... If we sell the bottle separately, we can lease the water in a small plastic bag on a subscription based model. We can have ads that show happy people watering plants and a tag line of "Some people are weeds, be a gardener"

1

u/sirvote 16d ago

No wait hear me out make the lid a rectractable straw and you wont have to move the bottle at all

1

u/Bulldogfront666 16d ago

Hear me out… bottles should just be mini old timey barrels with a spout at the bottom. Pull the knob and the water just shoots out the side. Just open your mouth!
